  Absolute joke. He's he's already gone past him
• 0:03
  and then he looks at him and then swings the arm and I don't,
• 0:06
  I literally don't. I was like, it's got to be a red
• 0:08
  card, fine, I'll still win the league, whatever.
• 0:10
  Like I don't really care. Just overall club versus club.
• 0:13
  I'd rather Arsenal win it in the city.
• 0:15
  It's just fans of Arsenal that made me don't want them to.
• 0:18
  Win it. Oh you fella Reds, you're back
• 0:20
  with me, Ben and Charles to review United trip to the
• 0:24
  Stadium of White, plus some other juicy games and the other
• 0:28
  football news that's been happening since we last caught
• 0:31
  up before we get into it, thanks as always for subscribing and
• 0:35
  following. We really really appreciate it.
• 0:37
  If you're not what you're waiting for, we're on YouTube,
• 0:40
  Spotify, Apple and all the socials.
• 0:42
  So come and join us. We'd we'd love to have you.
• 0:45
  But Jazz, we're back. How are you?
• 0:47
  How's your weekend been? Yeah, a wild one was out raving
• 0:52
  most of it. I did a few all nighters.
• 0:55
  I was my, my, my baby. Most of it gardening, some nice
• 1:00
  dog walks and, yeah, play parks. That's my life at the moment.
• 1:04
  So yeah, how about you? Dad life, yeah, a little bit
• 1:08
  different. Went to the Waldley Dubois fight
• 1:12
  called Live in Manchester on Saturday, which was which is mad
• 1:17
  like pretty good undercard. And then the fight itself was
• 1:20
  was pretty special. So got lucky with that one and
• 1:23
  had one too many Guinness. So bit of a slower Sunday I
• 1:27
  would say. Yeah.
• 1:30
  And we're probably talking about boxing to actually avoid talking
• 1:34
  about why we're here, which was the the Manchester United and
• 1:37
  Sunderland game and nil, nil draw, not great jazz.
• 1:42
  It was awful, right? If I was, if I was a Sunderland
• 1:46
  fan, I'd be human that we've not won that game.
• 1:48
  Yeah, because we were absolutely atrocious.
• 1:51
  Like I think I messaged you, I said what?
• 1:54
  The last five minutes I think of the game is probably the only
• 1:59
  like, positive I can take. Obviously other than lemons the
• 2:02
  only positive you can take from that game as there was a few
• 2:04
  chances we created the end but like poor performances all over
• 2:08
  the pitch basically. Yeah, yeah, we'll do our best to
• 2:11
  review it today, but there's not a lot to work with.
• 2:14
  And as it was at 3:00 as well, obviously not even on on TV.
• 2:18
  And it was last on much of the day for a reason, because yeah,
• 2:22
  it was pretty Kieran Dyer. But we'll talk about some other
• 2:26
  stuff as well. So stick with us.
• 2:28
  You still be promised to be a good a good show.
• 2:31
  But as always, predictions both was.
• 2:34
  I don't think we'll ever predict a nil nil, will we?
• 2:37
  No, I'm never going to. Not a United win.
• 2:39
  So yeah, so we. Were both wrong.
• 2:41
  I went with A2 nil so I got a bit of it right.
• 2:44
  You got a nil. You got a nil right?
• 2:46
  I got a nil right and you went with a free 1 so we were both
• 2:50
  absolute miles off but. I guess we should caveat that we
• 2:53
  had no idea about some of the injuries and knocks when we
• 2:57
  predicted that, because maybe I would have been a bit more
• 3:00
  conservative than my my 31. Yeah, and, and getting into and
• 3:04
  the lineup that was children as well was a bit of a mad one.
• 3:07
  Yeah, like obviously Casimir apparently has been playing with
• 3:13
  a bit of an ankle knock for a few weeks.
• 3:15
  So I reckon they just wanted him to be rested up so he can play
• 3:19
  his last game at Old Trafford next week.
• 3:21
  So I get that kind of one as well.
• 3:23
  Cesco is obviously still struggling with that shin injury
• 3:25
  from that. Probably should win a red card.
• 3:28
  Smashed into the hoardings a couple of weeks ago.
• 3:33
  So that was and then obviously I think he got it, must be injured
• 3:37
  as well. So yeah, a bit of a shock lineup
• 3:41
  essentially like no Dallow. And again, wouldn't thought
• 3:44
  normally that I'd say we missed Dallow, but compared to him,
• 3:47
  he's been one of our most assistant performers this year.
• 3:49
  And thinking since Carrots come in and Mas rally, like we were
• 3:55
  massive fans of him kind of last year, he was one of our best
• 3:58
  players. And since he's been back from
• 4:00
  the African combinations, he's played twice and he's been awful
• 4:03
  both times. Pretty much.
• 4:05
  It's really odd because like I said, it's not like he's he
• 4:08
  played like 50 odd games last year for us.
• 4:11
  I don't know how he's played this season, but he's just not
• 4:14
  not there. But no one was there yesterday
• 4:17
  and I thought sorry for getting his start, but in a weird
• 4:20
  position, it's not really he should be.
• 4:22
  He's a 10. He should be playing in the
• 4:23
  spots, not deeper in midfield. So yeah, it's just a rough,
• 4:28
  rough line up. I think you mentioned it like
• 4:34
  Heaven obviously felt a bit sorry for him for not starting
• 4:37
  because he he's not put wrong since he's come in.
• 4:39
  But I guess one thing you could see from the game was from a the
• 4:45
  limited offensive play there was, you could see that Martinez
• 4:48
  kind of played through the lines a little bit and it created one
• 4:52
  of those chances towards the end.
• 4:54
  But on the whole, yeah, everyone was rubbish and it was an awful
• 4:57
  game. Yeah, you made some good points
• 4:58
  there as well that the Afghan one's quite interesting because
• 5:01
  Brian as well and I'm mad if you look at.
• 5:03
  It Yeah. I've also been up, so it's
• 5:06
  interesting. Which is weird because don't you
• 5:08
  think it's like normally you can go, OK, yeah, they play too much
• 5:11
  football. But we've we've not had like
• 5:14
  those few games they have like I don't know how many games is 6
• 5:18
  games at the most four or five games they had.
• 5:22
  That's no more than any normal season.
• 5:25
  You expect to be a bit of a cup run across the League Cup from
• 5:28
  me, so obviously it's a bit more condensed.
• 5:30
  But they've all all been bad since the return, so maybe it is
• 5:35
  that, Yeah, I don't know, like, but yeah, they're all, they're
• 5:39
  all looking off. Yeah.
• 5:40
  But in terms of the lineup, I think me and you could probably
• 5:42
  about about five goals each. You're predicting it.
• 5:45
  I don't think you would have predicted that.
• 5:46
  No. Between us?
• 5:48
  Probably not. It was a mad one, yeah, as you
• 5:49
  said, obviously, yeah, Martinez coming back in kind of makes
• 5:52
  sense. Mount for Casimiro, yeah, is an
• 5:55
  odd one. And I'm out for Brian, obviously
• 5:58
  he's interchange that. And then there's Xerxes for
• 6:00
  Cesco, another chance for him and we'll get into it.
• 6:04
  But he did not take it. He didn't know.
• 6:09
  And typically at this point we would then get into the key
• 6:11
  moments of the game and talk about goals and missed chances
• 6:15
  and all that kind of stuff. But if we do that, it'll
• 6:18
  probably turn into a Sunderland podcast because if there was
• 6:21
  any, it wasn't for us. And as I say, kind of at the
• 6:24
  mercy of highlights a little bit too much.
• 6:26
  So we won't spend too long on this and we'll talk about some
• 6:30
  some other football stuff. But my notes and on my you Jazz
• 6:33
  is essentially great save from Lemons.
• 6:37
  The Lemons does. Well, Yeah, it's a bonkers 1.
• 6:42
  Yeah, like is the only one who can kind of hold his head back
• 6:47
  to that performance. He was Flash and if he wasn't
• 6:49
  another day, like it would have been 3 or 4 probably if it
• 6:53
  wasn't him, kind of that one particular one where that
• 6:56
  one-on-one that was a great save, one of those ones where
• 7:01
  you don't expect him to save it really.
• 7:03
  So yeah, fair play, but they just battered us.
• 7:07
  Like the energy, I don't know if it was, is it the selection or
• 7:10
  was it the energy? Was it a combination of them
• 7:12
  both? Is it just these players not all
• 7:16
  playing in the right positions? Like it's one of these kind of
• 7:19
  ones that you don't really, I don't really blame like Carrick
• 7:21
  or it makes me question Carrick or anything.
• 7:23
  It's just it just makes me question our squad debt, which
• 7:27
  we know is a struggle anyway. But it that really, really
• 7:30
  highlighted it like replacing like Casimiro and I don't know
• 7:35
  what will I guess we do. I'm going off a tendency because
• 7:37
  there's so few highlights like so I can I, I can go into
• 7:43
  specific players is actually just not at it at all.
• 7:49
  And it's like you've not started a game for a while and then you
• 7:51
  just don't, you're not even trying.
• 7:53
  Like he does these little flicks and they come off like one in
• 7:56
  four. So that looks good, but it
• 7:58
  doesn't turn into anything. And then I think he had that
• 8:00
  what, 2 headers 1 was like a decent chance and he he put it
• 8:06
  slightly over. I can't remember.
• 8:07
  Either way, he's like whatever game he had a few weeks ago, he
• 8:12
  had a similar chance and kind of missed that.
• 8:14
  He's just like, he's just not cut throat at all.
• 8:16
  And everyone looks like he's a nine and a half and and all that
• 8:19
  and he's just he's already 5 1/2 out of 10.
• 8:23
  That's what he is. Everybody, everybody weak.
• 8:25
  So I well rid of him. I'd much rather say Sesco's
• 8:28
  injured versus Forest. I'd rather play Obi or Brian for
• 8:33
  the middle and Ahmad and Junior. Like I don't think he should be
• 8:36
  anywhere near the team again, ever.
• 8:40
  Well, I've called him a daddy long names before He's he's kind
• 8:44
  of got like he's not like Berbatov energy where he's got
• 8:46
  that kind of chilled. But if you're going to have
• 8:49
  that, you've really got to back it up and you've just gotta be
• 8:51
  lawless. I mean, yeah, Berbatov, to be
• 8:53
  fair, like was, but with Xerxe, just he's a hard watch, isn't
• 8:58
  it? And because he looks like he's
• 9:01
  not asked, so you have to be incredible.
• 9:04
  And he just isn't. And like, so for conditions, I
• 9:08
  thought the game was a fantastic advert for Castamero's agent for
• 9:12
  a move because like just cutting through our midfield and he just
• 9:16
  showed that without him. I mean, look at the stats when
• 9:19
  he doesn't play, we just don't, we don't win, right?
• 9:22
  Now. Sometimes you probably don't
• 9:24
  always see the what the word that Castamero does, but it's
• 9:28
  just proven in results and it's just proven kind of watching
• 9:31
  that that without someone like him in the center, you know,
• 9:34
  even with Kobe next to Mason Mount.
• 9:36
  That's why he was right. Kobe then kind of had to try and
• 9:38
  play a bit of yeah chassis role, that kind of defensive sort of
• 9:42
  screening kind of thing he does that no real Americans do and it
• 9:46
  just made so basically makes Kobe look worse and probably not
• 9:50
  play well. And then man isn't he doesn't
• 9:52
  he's not a deep flying mathilder.
• 9:54
  So he was just, again, would it have been better checking in a
• 9:59
  Jim Thwaites or something like that?
• 10:01
  I know that I think they had a night again the night before, so
• 10:03
  that's why some of them didn't play.
• 10:04
  But yeah, I just feel like you just wanted a certain thing that
• 10:09
  showed the squad depth wasn't there and you having to play
• 10:12
  people out of positions very quickly, just with two key
• 10:16
  players missing instead of going thing in and the whole thing
• 10:19
  just crumbles. And that's very concerning.
• 10:22
  Well, and maybe it's good well time in terms of going into the
• 10:25
  summer because I have heard rumors of them potentially
• 10:28
  getting like 2 Casamaro signings in terms of what maybe an
• 10:31
  Anderson and a belabor. You can do a little bit more,
• 10:34
  but it does show that that role is so crucial that whoever we
• 10:39
  sign, even just having one is probably not enough.
• 10:42
  And Agate, I still think you might leave in the summer as
• 10:45
  well. So if we did let yeah, then
• 10:48
  we've got already think we. Need to sign, Yeah, I think we
• 10:50
  need to sign 2. And you almost need to have a
• 10:54
  like a Jim Thwaites kind of being in the squad game minutes
• 10:58
  as well to build him up. Because I think just, if you're
• 11:01
  just replacing Agate and Casimiro with two new
• 11:04
  midfielders, I don't think that's enough when you got 5060
• 11:09
  games to play, especially some like high pressured kind of
• 11:12
  Champion League games as well. So yeah, I think you need to,
• 11:16
  yeah, you sign 2 and then you need to promote a midfielder as
• 11:19
  well because obviously Kobe's not had to play 60 games before,
• 11:24
  so how would his body? He's still only young.
• 11:27
  So yeah, like you said, it's a good, good timing to maybe
• 11:30
  remind Jim you need to get that checkbook out because we're
• 11:35
  gonna, well, we'll be like police spurs if you're not
• 11:37
  careful. Yeah, we don't want to kill the
• 11:39
  likes of copy as well, right With with all these games and
• 11:42
  expectation, we do need to be able to rotate and that kind of
• 11:44
  stuff. So yeah, yeah, it does need a
• 11:47
  big summer, but I'm sure we'll do a special podcast on that in
• 11:50
  the in the upcoming weeks. But honestly, mate, my notes,
• 11:53
  I'm clutching at straws. I made a note of Maserati
• 11:55
  wearing gloves, which, you know, whenever that's that was one of
• 12:00
  my observations. How bored this this plea that
• 12:03
  was with the match. I was like, write that down.
• 12:07
  Write that down. Yeah.
• 12:08
  It's never about gloves. You can't wear gloves in May
• 12:11
  either. There's, you know, northerners
• 12:12
  are still wasn't. And.
• 12:15
  He was, he was, he was. And he's just so short of
• 12:20
  confidence and he did have a chance and he decided to kind of
• 12:23
  pass instead of shoot. And for me, I just sums where he
• 12:26
  sums up where he's at 1:00. Of the MRA tries to square it,
• 12:28
  Yeah. And he didn't even.
• 12:29
  And it was an easy pass as well. He kind of messed that up as
• 12:32
  well. Like he played it like back.
• 12:33
  And that should have been a goal, a goal we didn't deserve,
• 12:36
  but and it was the one in. It's quite a few like moments in
• 12:40
  the first half where he's in the box and he's cutting in and
• 12:43
  probably could have shot on his week of thought and he just kind
• 12:46
  of cuts back on his right and then he just gets tackled.
• 12:48
  And that's been his season pretty much.
• 12:50
  What has he got? Two goals and one assist,
• 12:52
  something like that? Yeah, I like, I think it's just,
• 12:55
  yeah, confidence things just lost it completely.
• 12:59
  And I guess he's lucky there's not.
• 13:04
  It's just him and Brian kind of competing against each other and
• 13:08
  yeah, I, I still think there's a quality player in there.
• 13:11
  I'm not like selling or anything or.
• 13:12
  That no, I'm not just. Just need, we just need to, we
• 13:14
  just need to boost this confidence for next season.
• 13:17
  You need to go. It's funny because in the past
• 13:19
  with players like an actual and others, we've actually been
• 13:21
  frustrated because they never do the sensible thing and look up
• 13:24
  and and be unselfish and square it.
• 13:27
  But with Ahmad, we're kind of looking for the opposite now.
• 13:30
  Sometimes this be a little bit more selfish and and because he
• 13:33
  scored some ridiculous goals and we know he's got the ability and
• 13:37
  you know, he's putting the work in and it's nice to see him want
• 13:41
  to bring his teammates in. But yeah, I think he just needs,
• 13:44
  he needs a goal or two just to kind of getting going again,
• 13:46
  doesn't he? Just an assist, yeah, it's
• 13:48
  something just to get him going again.
• 13:52
  But yeah, and then obviously Carrick, you know, did make some
• 13:54
  changes to try and change over. You brought on Balon doggy for
• 13:58
  Zack, Steve. Actually for again, he was a
• 14:00
  massive like same as the previous game.
• 14:03
  He makes a big difference like in behind his past back to
• 14:08
  Kenya, where he should have junior should have scored just
• 14:11
  timed it perfectly to let all the players kind of keep running
• 14:14
  gave him the space to cut it back to Cuna And obviously his
• 14:16
  finish was poor. But and there's a few of those
• 14:20
  little he just he just creates danger.
• 14:22
  I'm like I would like to see him start like say Cesco stays
• 14:28
  injured. You Brian or Brian the cure in
• 14:30
  the middle bond dog on the left and then the only one tumor or
• 14:36
  or Brian on the right. Like I think the fitness is
• 14:40
  there now just this game in there because I think he's his
• 14:43
  energy and pace and it's not he's just and confidence.
• 14:46
  I think as well. He's there.
• 14:48
  So I think he should be starting against Forest and I think he'll
• 14:51
  he'll cause problems. Definitely, definitely no, I'm
• 14:54
  not just in between that CUNY chance you mentioned, which
• 14:57
  we'll come back to Sunderland obviously hit the post, which
• 15:00
  was pretty unlucky for for them was just kind of like that's
• 15:04
  that's done me and we fought to the hit that.
• 15:06
  But that CUNY chance, he had so much time in the box, actually,
• 15:10
  that he could have taken. Yeah, like he just kind of swung
• 15:15
  at it and I think, like you said, I think he almost thought
• 15:18
  there's people closer to him, but I think the whole their
• 15:20
  whole line had moved in as one towards the goal and he actually
• 15:23
  had load more space. And yeah, I think he probably
• 15:25
  could have opened his body up and then tried to put it in the
• 15:28
  opposite corner. He just kind of pinged it
• 15:30
  straight at the keeper. Having said that though, is it a
• 15:33
  few of them first time this season and he's scored, so you
• 15:36
  can kind of see why, why he's done it.
• 15:39
  It's easy for us to say, isn't it?
• 15:40
  And. Then the other one after right
• 15:42
  right after that where he also dives and it was a dive.
• 15:45
  Yeah. And he's like just stay on your
• 15:47
  feet and have a dig because again, he might have bite
• 15:51
  scuffed it and he might have bounced on a heel and gone in
• 15:54
  like one of these things where I guess he thought the player was
• 15:57
  closer to him so it would look real more realistic.
• 15:59
  But he was. I have no argument seriously it.
• 16:02
  Was a bad time, Yeah, full flail and let's bring it up and it's
• 16:08
  probably not going to be the first time.
• 16:10
  You mentioned BAR on this podcast, but how is that our red
• 16:13
  card and Bruno? Absolute joke, like he's he's
• 16:18
  already gone past him and then he looks at him and then swings
• 16:22
  the arm and I don't, I think she don't.
• 16:23
  I was like, it's got to be a red card and I don't know how.
• 16:26
  What are they? How can you view that?
• 16:28
  OK, he hasn't knocked him out. He hasn't broken his cheekbone
• 16:30
  or his nose or anything, but that's like an aggressive,
• 16:34
  violent conduct. He's he's tried to deliberately
• 16:37
  hit him in the face, which he does connect.
• 16:39
  I'm just like Martinez getting banned for three games for a
• 16:43
  pulling a hair bubble and like you see, and I will get to the
• 16:47
  VAR from yesterday and like that's kind of ruling goals out.
• 16:52
  He's changed the championship and someone's literally kind of
• 16:55
  smashing someone in the face and nothing happens.
• 16:57
  I'm like, what? What are they doing this way?
• 16:59
  I'm always to the point now like just fucking get rid of it and
• 17:03
  like keep the ball thing over the line that works.
• 17:06
  And it's just also the time it takes is so frustrating.
• 17:10
  Obviously when you're in the stadium as well and you think
• 17:11
  you've scored, you celebrated and then you're you always you
• 17:14
  always celebrate twice, don't you?
• 17:15
  Because it takes so long and it's like how it's the clear and
• 17:20
  obvious thing as well, isn't it? And we'll get to the Arsenal
• 17:23
  game. It's.
• 17:23
  Clear and obvious. You'd be proud of that as a jiu
• 17:26
  jitsu guy, wouldn't you? That little I'm on the way past.
• 17:28
  Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
• 17:30
  You. Look.
• 17:31
  And then yeah, you understand obviously as a footballer,
• 17:33
  putting your arms down when he's challenging, it makes sense, but
• 17:36
  you literally just one AM on the way past just does it him.
• 17:40
  But it was like, and it was The thing is that like Bruno was on
• 17:42
  his way past. He's almost passed him and
• 17:44
  you're basically like lunges like back to game like I no idea
• 17:50
  it wasn't a red card. I'm yeah, flabbergasted.
• 17:55
  And I don't, I don't mind the referee missing it because it's
• 17:57
  obviously going quickly. But how they are I can look,
• 18:01
  yeah, and go, yeah, that's fine. This doesn't make any sense.
• 18:05
  But to be fair, it probably wouldn't have made much
• 18:07
  difference to our playing. But still, it's just like you
• 18:09
  said, it's just the consistency and it's the Martinez getting,
• 18:12
  you know, three-game band for plotting hair, as you say, and
• 18:15
  stuff like that. So it's ridiculous, really good.
• 18:20
  But anyway, I think that's the moments of the game.
• 18:22
  Let's just almost let's just pack it and just forget it ever
• 18:25
  happened and move on. But let's get into some players
• 18:29
  that we've kind of done as well and I think just poor quality
• 18:32
  around, wasn't it? You mentioned Xe Mountain in the
• 18:35
  right position, but anyone stand out to you before we get into
• 18:39
  man of the match other? Than Lemon, there's no no one
• 18:48
  you know from their side. A few players I thought like
• 18:51
  played well like that. Siddiqui obviously missed that
• 18:53
  chance, but I thought he was at the Toby Toby.
• 18:58
  I thought he was causing lots of problems and Brobby is just a
• 19:01
  handful when he like just a bit of a like doesn't stop the whole
• 19:05
  game really physical. I think we were actually linked
• 19:08
  to him when we had 10 Haag because he's obviously Dutch, so
• 19:11
  we had to be had to be linked to rules.
• 19:17
  But yeah, no, like oven lemons. I've got no doggy for his.
• 19:21
  It's like cameo. That's it.
• 19:23
  They're certainly positive. I'm taking from from that.
• 19:25
  I don't know if you've got any ones I've missed.
• 19:28
  No, I I said she had a soft spot for probably obviously in the
• 19:31
  preview and I thought he was a handful, but on three, shall we
• 19:34
  say, a man of the match, 123 lemons.
• 19:40
  Yeah, shocker. I mean, again, what I do love is
• 19:44
  just having him. At least you know what I mean.
• 19:45
  That's a game where we definitely would have lost that
• 19:49
  before him one. 100%, yeah, yeah, 100% buying there or an
• 19:52
  honor in that game, it's at least two nil.
• 19:56
  Yeah, they're just picking on the ball and throwing it in the
• 19:58
  net or something stupid, aren't they?
• 20:00
  Yeah, yeah, he's so good. He's just so composed and you
• 20:05
  just decision making, you know, obviously you made that mistake
• 20:07
  against Liverpool, but. In the grand scheme of it,
• 20:10
  that's just a one off and he's just been.
• 20:12
  And they didn't kill him in it. Like remember anonymous mistake,
• 20:15
  you'd see his head. Just go for us again.
• 20:17
  You're like, and he normally made another mistake.
• 20:19
  Yeah, but he obviously made that mistake in Liverpool.
• 20:21
  And 1st that game he was really good, made some really key shows
• 20:25
  like that Van Dyke one. And then that has continued into
• 20:28
  this game where he basically won us a point.
• 20:31
  Yeah, but you touched on Sunderland briefly as well, but
• 20:34
  just a thought on them generally, like great season to
• 20:37
  be fair. Yeah, I fair play stayed up like
• 20:42
  I thought. I thought that I didn't realize
• 20:45
  their record recently been so bad.
• 20:47
  So again, a bit more annoying. But I guess it's just one of
• 20:50
  those games where if so we have to win that game to get
• 20:53
  Champions League football. That wouldn't have been the
• 20:56
  performance and that probably wouldn't have been the team and
• 20:58
  that kind of thing. But yeah, I think some under
• 21:04
  like I think maybe next season they week closer to the
• 21:07
  relegation zone. Like maybe not obviously game
• 21:10
  relegated, but I think maybe a bit lower down the table and
• 21:13
  just because people might find them out a bit because they they
• 21:15
  started so well and then they've kind of the point started
• 21:18
  dropped off a bit. So maybe I'll be same but see
• 21:21
  they sign I guess. Yeah, and the table was just not
• 21:24
  so. I think it was yesterday that
• 21:26
  Newcastle could get Champions League and could get relegated.
• 21:30
  So it's literally already mathematically, mathematically.
• 21:33
  So it's I think it's a bonkers table.
• 21:35
  But yeah, they're doing, they're doing pretty well.
• 21:37
  But from our point of view then I guess the only positive to
• 21:39
  take away is that we didn't concede.
• 21:42
  You know, we got another point which we'll come into because it
• 21:46
  actually ended up being a a good point.
• 21:48
  And then yeah, exactly. Negatives are improvement areas
• 21:51
  for me. It's just we've kind of talked
• 21:53
  about it. But squad depth, there was a
• 21:55
  really interesting kind of stat that came up on.
• 21:57
  Was it Match of the Day maybe? I think that Carrick's used the
• 22:00
  fewest players in the league since he joined.
• 22:03
  So he's 21 players compared to the other teams now.
• 22:07
  Of course we've not had other tournaments and stuff to be part
• 22:11
  of, but it almost shows, well that A, we don't necessarily
• 22:15
  have the squad depth and B, Carrick doesn't seem to kind of,
• 22:18
  you know, trust in that as well, so I don't.
• 22:21
  Know who, like if you were, if you were the manager and you've
• 22:25
  got that squad, I don't know, every time he normally picks
• 22:29
  A-Team now, like you can't really argue with the teams he
• 22:33
  picks because you're like, well, I'm not the only one.
• 22:36
  The other is like Wendy wherever it's Cesco or and Brema or Kuna
• 22:39
  or sort of starting down the middle other than that and and
• 22:43
  Burma will Ahmad. But over in those ones because
• 22:45
  you're happy with that straight forces probably makes sense
• 22:47
  because that's what we focused on last summer.
• 22:50
  That's why we're happy with that part squad.
• 22:52
  But the rest of it you just like yeah if Casmir is injured if
• 22:55
  Bruno's injured if coffee's injured like it's it's struggle
• 23:01
  time in it. So I think, yeah, I don't, I
• 23:06
  don't see it as a negative that he's pick so few players on
• 23:09
  Carrick not wanting to pick different players or rotate.
• 23:12
  I think it's because they're literally isn't the quality
• 23:13
  there to rotate. Yeah, I think the only options
• 23:16
  we have, even when everyone's fully fit really is defensively,
• 23:19
  you know, and that's where you can only really rotate.
• 23:23
  So it just shows that it's a massive transfer window again,
• 23:26
  isn't it? And I think it needs to be a
• 23:28
  mixture of 1st 11 players, but then like very good 2nd 11 who
• 23:35
  you know I. Think we need some freebies or
• 23:37
  something out there because I don't I don't think there's
• 23:39
  enough money to to sign whether it's Anderson or Trumani or
• 23:44
  Belabor or so what's the Edison was strongly linked this
• 23:50
  morning, actually even more strong links to him.
• 23:53
  So I think he's about 40 to 50 million.
• 23:55
  So maybe he's like kind of second one next to the Anderson
• 23:59
  or the Trumani because they're the bigger ones.
• 24:03
  But I think you need to get some free in there free transfers or
• 24:07
  some or some others like cheeky lemon style right backs or left
• 24:12
  backs. And because I don't think
• 24:14
  there's enough money there to to do the full overall we need.
• 24:16
  So we need to be clever in the market and find some free
• 24:19
  transfers, get some, unearth some Nuggets and then promote
• 24:23
  some youth players basically. As though Manchester United are
• 24:26
  actually getting some money for a player potentially as of
• 24:29
  today, we're in Rasmuth Highland actually getting a transfer fee
• 24:34
  as well. That's kind of been.
• 24:35
  E-mail, right? Yeah.
• 24:37
  I mean, I think it's 44 year €1,000,000.
• 24:39
  So what's fine? That's just under 40 million.
• 24:42
  Yeah. So still nothing compared to
• 24:44
  what we we paid for him, but it's nice to actually get some
• 24:47
  get some cash. But you're right, it's going to
• 24:49
  be going to be an interesting one.
• 24:51
  Is the only there. You know what we're going to do
• 24:53
  with it. I think we're going to have to
• 24:54
  be creative because going from once a week to Champions League
• 24:58
  and you know, we also want to have a good run at the cops as
• 25:00
  well. Don't we?
• 25:01
  You know that's. Where?
• 25:03
  We should be at so hopefully we can assemble a squad, a squad to
• 25:06
  do that. But yeah, let's move away from
• 25:09
  United for a little bit and and look at some of the other
• 25:11
  results. So actually it was a good
• 25:13
  weekend for though Liverpool 11 at home to Chelsea and then
• 25:17
  Villa ended up drawing away at Birmingham as well, which I
• 25:20
  didn't expect after their result in the week.
• 25:21
  So from our point of view, great results.
• 25:25
  Yeah, I think Villa must have an eye on the final night, right?
• 25:28
  Yes, that's Emery's competition. This would be like a fifth time
• 25:32
  if he wins, I think 4th, 5th time.
• 25:36
  So I think they're pretty safe in Champions League anyway.
• 25:40
  So why would you not just kind of focus on winning that Europa
• 25:45
  League? But I wasn't expecting it.
• 25:51
  You're all there. I kind of Liverpool, Chelsea
• 25:53
  game. I kind of thought Liverpool win
• 25:55
  that, but I didn't watch that one, so not sure.
• 25:57
  But from what I read they were rubbish and their fans were
• 26:01
  booing. They took off real.
• 26:04
  I watched it. I watched it.
• 26:06
  Yeah. They were lucky, lucky to get a
• 26:07
  point. To be honest.
• 26:08
  The thought Chelsea were pretty ready.
• 26:10
  Chelsea is such a weird team as well, because actually in spells
• 26:12
  they played pretty well and they were cutting through Liverpool
• 26:15
  like at ease, which was which was interesting.
• 26:18
  So yeah. They get a good manager in right
• 26:21
  next year, then someone who can control and find the right
• 26:26
  balance with all those kids and stuff, then yeah, I don't think
• 26:29
  they'll be as bad next season. Yeah.
• 26:31
  But obviously we want to cement 4th, but so third, sorry, but I
• 26:36
  think that actually means that the minimum, the lowest we can
• 26:40
  finish now is is fourth because Villa played Liverpool, don't
• 26:43
  they on Friday. So yeah, they both can obviously
• 26:47
  get maximum points. So which is which is good?
• 26:50
  Yeah, I think we have the best goal difference.
• 26:54
  Yeah, we did. We did, yeah.
• 26:56
  So even if we lose our next two, obviously that could swing it
• 27:02
  back the other way. But like you said, villain
• 27:07
  Liverpool can't win. I think we're going to finish
• 27:08
  third. I don't see us losing both of
• 27:10
  our last two games. I think we'll probably, I think
• 27:13
  we'll probably beat Forest, Yeah.
• 27:15
  Stay tuned for the preview coming later in the week.
• 27:18
  And then yeah, let's get into the title race because there's
• 27:20
  some interesting stuff to talk about there.
• 27:22
  So City made kind of light work of Brentford at home.
• 27:26
  It was kind of annoying because because I was at the Boxing
• 27:29
  City, we're also at home and it's right there they caught
• 27:32
  live. So it's pretty bonkers around
• 27:34
  there and it was just full of City fans.
• 27:36
  But good, good win for them. Three nil home to Brentford and
• 27:41
  then it was over to Arsenal and West Ham yesterday.
• 27:46
  Wow. Like I think Arsenal started
• 27:49
  quite well and then the game just went perfectly as West Ham
• 27:53
  and City would want it really cagey, loads attention.
• 27:57
  Yeah. And then obviously Arsenal get
• 28:00
  that goal. Three trust side, which to be
• 28:02
  fair, older God came on and did make a difference and he said
• 28:05
  that goal nicely. And then at the end, you know, I
• 28:09
  just tweeted wow, because Wilson scored and I thought, there we
• 28:12
  go, wide open VAR jazz over to you.
• 28:18
  Just. I just, well, obviously there
• 28:22
  was the one at the start of the season, we're on us on by India,
• 28:26
  which is basically a carbon copy of that.
• 28:29
  And the goal got given for Arsenal against us.
• 28:32
  And then basically the same thing happened.
• 28:35
  And The thing is, it's like, OK, so the referee gave it on the
• 28:39
  pitch, right, as a goal. And then they are obviously
• 28:43
  looked at it and it's meant to be a clear and obvious error,
• 28:45
  right, that the referees made to overturn the goal.
• 28:48
  So I'm just like, why is that been overturned?
• 28:53
  It's not a clear and obvious error.
• 28:54
  Like it was one of those like arms because of the way Arsenal
• 28:59
  buddy, take corners and defend corners.
• 29:01
  Like they'll be fuming if I got this alive the other way.
• 29:06
  And it's just, yeah, it's just I like, I'm fine.
• 29:10
  I'll still win the league, whatever.
• 29:11
  Like I don't really care. I just overall like club versus
• 29:16
  club. I'd rather Arsenal win it in the
• 29:17
  city. It's just fans of Arsenal that
• 29:19
  made me don't want them to win it, Not at the actual club.
• 29:22
  Like fair play, they've won the league.
• 29:23
  But like just the way in fact they are is just killing me at
• 29:27
  the moment. Like I'm just so fed up a bit.
• 29:30
  I think everyone is that's a thing.
• 29:32
  And they seem to, the tweaks they make seem to make
• 29:35
  everything worse. Yeah.
• 29:37
  Like, it just gets worse and worse.
• 29:38
  It should be getting better. So why is why is it getting
• 29:40
  worse? I just don't know.
• 29:42
  Like, I'm just hoping that over the summer, I think there's
• 29:45
  probably some different rules being interpreted in the World
• 29:48
  Cup. So hopefully they're better and
• 29:49
  maybe they can be brought into the Premier League.
• 29:51
  But God, I'm so fed up a bit. And yeah, you always got to feel
• 29:55
  sorry for West Ham because that was massive.
• 29:58
  And if Spurs win tonight, then they're pretty much done.
• 30:02
  Yeah, The thing is as well, like, like you said, Arsenal
• 30:05
  style, there's so much going on in the box as well.
• 30:07
  Did you see basically Decker Rice was doing a like a Titanic
• 30:10
  moment with was it Maverick Panos?
• 30:12
  Like literally was cuddling behind all the way into the box.
• 30:15
  So I was looking at that as well thinking, well, that's also a
• 30:19
  penalty because he's stuck. Yeah.
• 30:21
  But then apparently I think Neville said when he was looking
• 30:24
  at the VR stuff that the keeper one came first and that came
• 30:27
  second. And it's like, well, what you
• 30:29
  do, you line them up to say which ones is just madness.
• 30:33
  And like you said, yeah, clear and obvious in all that mess of
• 30:36
  what's going on. Also, obviously we got stung by
• 30:39
  it with with buying there, as you said, against them and then
• 30:42
  all these other examples. It's just so inconsistent and
• 30:46
  it's just my head in. Yeah.
• 30:51
  Yeah, I'm done with it. I'm done with it.
• 30:53
  Felt just football or? Just yeah, I mean, yeah,
• 30:58
  Arsenal, Arsenal's like I think they've got Burnley and Palace,
• 31:05
  yeah, so and Palace have got a final as well, complex league.
• 31:11
  So I would be shocked if there's a slip up there from Arsenal.
• 31:16
  So I think they've got the league now.
• 31:18
  Same. Same but.
• 31:21
  Like I said, like as a club, fine for them to win it over
• 31:24
  City, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 31:26
  Just they're going to be, I know the Arsenal fans will be piping
• 31:28
  up. It's the greatest football team
• 31:29
  ever. And like it's just, they're so
• 31:33
  joyless. Like there's air attacking
• 31:35
  players just aren't exciting at all.
• 31:37
  We're like, yeah, it's just a very weird team to win the
• 31:40
  league and. Just please PSG, please PSG,
• 31:44
  Save us. Save us.
• 31:46
  Oh. God, if they won the double, Oh
• 31:48
  my God and. Then some other football news.
• 31:51
  So last night and Barcelona sealed the league title in L
• 31:56
  classical, which apparently is the first time that's happened
• 31:59
  and I think over 100 years, which which is mad.
• 32:02
  So not a not a great night for Real Madrid, but fair play to
• 32:06
  Basa, also Marcus Rashford. Scores free kick.
• 32:10
  Yeah, I did. Ridiculous.
• 32:12
  I thought. I hadn't seen any.
• 32:13
  I just saw the highlight and I was like, oh, you're going to go
• 32:15
  in the top right corner and then he spends it in the far left.
• 32:19
  I why? What a free kick that was.
• 32:21
  He said you're gonna, he said you're gonna cross it.
• 32:23
  And then because he didn't fancy the angle, but then apparently
• 32:26
  he was getting like ushered to have a shot.
• 32:29
  So he just went for it and it was ridiculous.
• 32:31
  Did you see that? Bruno reposted it as well.
• 32:33
  Just with some love already. Now it was.
• 32:38
  So that's so much frustrating because he is Manchester United,
• 32:41
  right? Or was And he he's got bags of
• 32:44
  ability and it's just mad. That it's.
• 32:46
  Ended like this and obviously now each wants to stay there.
• 32:49
  I'm not sure, probably going to try and get us over a barrel and
• 32:52
  around price and stuff. But yeah, you can tell that he's
• 32:57
  a, you know, he's a quality player.
• 32:58
  He's not. He's only 28, isn't he as well?
• 33:00
  So he's not like he's got Yeah. So it's going to be interesting
• 33:04
  what happens with him. Yeah, so I don't know if you've
• 33:07
  seen all the rumored stuff this week is actually mental.
• 33:09
  They were never going to win this game after like people
• 33:11
  getting knocked out fights. Like there was like 3 different
• 33:14
  fights this week. Yeah, the ones where one was
• 33:18
  Chewy Manie, so maybe that will get him out displeased to us and
• 33:22
  on Bape's had like 40 million signatures they want in the BAPE
• 33:25
  gone. Yeah, I wouldn't mind.
• 33:27
  I wouldn't mind. He scored 41 goals this season
• 33:29
  and I can't take that and they still.
• 33:31
  Don't rate him was it there was a petitioner sort of wanted to
• 33:33
  get him out of the. Yes, I mean, 40,000,040 million
• 33:35
  signatures, yeah. What is that?
• 33:38
  Well, yeah, we'll take would. You take him.
• 33:40
  Yeah, big time. Exactly.
• 33:42
  I've seen some people say, oh, we wouldn't take him because
• 33:44
  he's got a bashi. I'm like, right, if he's scoring
• 33:47
  40 goals, I'll take a bit of a bad attitude.
• 33:49
  Yeah, I've annoyingly heard like Liverpool like links and I don't
• 33:54
  know whether he's got some like favorites towards them in the
• 33:57
  past. So I hope that doesn't happen,
• 33:59
  but surely not with Isaac as well.
• 34:00
  And Decker TK. But yeah, mad mad One and Real
• 34:05
  Madrid podcasters can probably have a bit of fun at the minute.
• 34:08
  And we have enough to talk about.
• 34:09
  Oh my. God, definitely.
• 34:11
  Yeah, given a Sunderland nil nil, but yeah, luckily we can
• 34:15
  talk about some of the other stuff going on.
• 34:17
  But as always, Jazz, we still, you know, got to get into it.
• 34:19
  We've got to review it. And obviously later in the week
• 34:22
  we'll be back with a preview of the game against Forest, which,
• 34:26
  yeah, as you mentioned, Castamero's last game, Old
• 34:29
  Trafford, so should be a good one.
• 34:31
  Hopefully we get one of them final headers to celebrate and
• 34:34
  the better chest bump in and all that kind of good stuff.
• 34:36
  Also need the assist record right?
• 34:38
  Yeah, maybe. Is he still one behind?
• 34:41
  Yeah, because he got robbed at that one, didn't he?
• 34:44
  So he needs 2 to break it if we play if we play like that, by
• 34:49
  chance did he get it? Yeah, don't want to give.
• 34:51
  I think he gets it against forest.
• 34:53
  I think we just do Forest basically and it's yeah it all
• 34:57
  happens there but let's leave it there for now.
• 35:01
  Just what do you guys think? Have you got any more points to
• 35:03
  raise over them? What?
• 35:04
  Me and Chaz were able to scramble, Sunderland nil,
• 35:07
  Manchester United nil. What do you think of the rest of
• 35:09
  the results? The top five race, the title
• 35:13
  race and relegation as well. Are we being too harsh on BAR?
• 35:16
  Did you agree with the decision? Did you not let us know?
